Selling your work is a numbers game. The more submissions you have, the more of your writing you will sell.
If you're a beginning writer, writing and submitting is PRACTICE. Look on your submissions as practice for at least the first couple of years, or until you're selling your work consistently. Experienced writers have created systems to write, market and sell, so that the process is automatic, they no longer have to think about it.
If you're a professional writer, because the markets for your work change constantly, it's important to set submission GOALS. Set goals for the number of submissions you make each week, and also for submissions to new (to you) markets.
We're a couple of days away from 2006, so create a marketing plan for submissions now. Then work the plan for a happy and prosperous 2006.
Your attitude is vital. Read "Discipline and Persistence for Freelance Writing Success" for good advice.
